Walls that Speak


I remember when I first started putting vinyl lettering on my walls.....the company I orders from was "if walls could talk". Sam used to say that the thought was "just creepy" and he would make awkward jokes about our walls talking to us!
As in many things, I just ignored him and went ahead and decorated our home!
I love using vinyl around our home. I love it so much that its hard to walk around my house without reading something that's on the wall.
The great thing about vinyl is its cheap, easy to use and you can remove it when you want it gone. Over the years I have ordered from lots of different companies but what I look for is COST, SPEED (how soon can they get it to me) and QUALITY....I've used some vinyl that is thick and hard to get to adhere to the wall, that's just plain annoying!
Anyway the whole point of this blog is to let you know about a company I just found and have fallen in love with. Vinyl Wall Expressions is so my new favorite friend in the vinyl world. Their site is very user friendly. When you get to the home page you can actually put in your saying, or word and preview it with various color, font and sizing. Their prices are good and their shipping is fast which satisfies my impatient self PLUS free shipping if you order over $25. After ordering a couple of times, I can say that they use a good vinyl product that applies nicely to the surface, without having to rub over it a thousand times and still have it stick to the top layer.
One other thing that I think is very impressive is that their customer service is superb. You can reach someone quickly through twitter and/or email.
I thought that they had missed something on my order when I received it in the mail....turned out that the error was mine and I had forgotten to order Kami's name.....oops. Well the long and the short of it is that through our communications they offered to work "Kami's order" into one of their others and send it to me......soooo nice! I received it the other day. I was seriously impressed and decided to spread the word about their awesome website and product.

Mirror ReVamp

I picked up this gold framed mirror at a garage sale and immediately knew I wanted to redo my mantle for Christmas. I love the detail on the corners.
I painted it white and it turned out really nice. Check out how our Christmas mantel looked this year. When Christmas was over the mirror went perfectly with Bailis new room.

Love Refinished Furniture???

Check out my friends blog. She does AMAZING work. I love everything she refinishes decided I'd let you in on the secret and share the joy!
She lives in Mesquite, only about 45 north of Vegas. Her prices are great and her sense of style is superb.... Especially if you love the shabby/country chic look. I always feel this style gives a sense of warmth and "lived-inness" to a home. Check out the stuff she has currently for sale....and then lets take a road trip?
